Bariatric Patient Solutions

The growing epidemic of obesity worldwide has been well documented over the last several years. Statistics are placing about 63 percent of Americans in the overweight range, with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more. The prevalence of obesity, combined with an aging population in the U.S. has had an enormous impact on the health care industry, which struggles to equip its staff with the appropriate bariatric medical equipment to serve an ever changing clientele.

The care of the bariatric, larger, patient is not a simple matter of putting more muscle into moving and assisting them, or getting help from another staff member. To effectively reduce the real risk of injury to staff and to patients, health care facilities must equip competent caregivers with bariatric chairs and other bariatric medical equipment designed to facilitate fluid movement and mobility of larger patients with special care needs.

This is where Global Medical Sales can help. Our line of moving and bariatric patient lifting aids for the disabled includes motorized beds and other bariatric products designed to address the concerns of professional caregivers and their patients.

Modern bariatric patient care needs require nurses and aides to have the ability to reliably handle higher weight loads with smooth, fluid motion. Our bariatric chairs help caregivers do just that.

With weight bearing capacities of up to 1,000 pounds, seat widths up to 31 inches, specially designed padding and a number of features that can be adjusted to the individual's needs, these units provide optimal comfort.

More important, this valuable piece of bariatric medical equipment greatly reduces the risk of injury to patients and caregivers by allowing for easy one-person transfers using the Barton Positioning and Transfer System.

Sturdy, Safe Motorized Beds

The Barton Bariatric TransBed, used in conjunction with a specially designed bariatric chair, provides the safest possible transport of patients in and out of a bed and facility. This unit is designed to give patients the freedom to help themselves, while protecting them and caregivers from potential injuries during movement.
